The football referee was arrested and detained in September.

According to the indictment, the judge has contacted companies several times and promised to help them terminate telephone subscriptions that have been incorrectly signed.

But he had no intention of helping, the prosecutor claims.

In this way, the judge received millions from three different companies.

In four other cases, the football referee has tricked people into lending him money with the help of incorrect information, according to the indictment.

The referee is also involved in an investigation into gambling fraud, where he is suspected of having played in matches that he himself has refereed.

The Swedish Football Association has suspended the man from refereeing for 15 months because he played in matches in a series where he refereed himself. You are not allowed to do that, according to the judges' rules on betting.
